The 49ers can begin the chant now, “We’re no. 17!” Forbes came out with the top 50 of the world’s most valuable franchises and the 49ers checked at no. 17 overall, two ahead of the Packers and 10 ahead of the Seahawks and 33 better than the Raiders.

That value is likely to tick up dramatically once the 49ers settle into their new gleaming $1.2 billion digs next year. For now, the 49ers are valued $1.175 billion according to Forbes. The top of the list was dominated by soccer clubs with Real Madrid coming in first at $3.3 billion.

The Cowboys were the top NFL team at no. 5 ($2.1 billion). Thirty NFL clubs made the top 50, with the Rams and
Jags just out of the running at no. 51 and no. 52. The Raiders claimed the 50th sport at $785 million and the San Francisco Giants were just ahead of them at $785 mil.
